KAPALUA, Hawaii - No one in the winners-only field at Kapalua has been more successful on Monday than Patrick Reed. Jacques Plante Jersey .Instead of honing his game in the minor leagues before earning a card, Reed tried to Monday qualify into PGA Tour events. He made it six times out of eight tries, an astounding rate of success. Only this day was different.Reed didnt get into a PGA Tour event on Monday. He won a PGA Tour event.I felt like this win was more like the Mondays, because not only was it Monday, it was 18 holes, Reed said after his playoff victory over Jimmy Walker in the Hyundai Tournament of Champions. It was pretty bunched, so you just had to go out and go low. And luckily, we were able to do that.He did his most important work at Kapalua over the final four holes in regulation, and it wasnt exactly bunched up at the moment. In fact, Reed was thinking more about trying to finish second when he stood on the 15th tee four shots behind Walker.I thought my chances were slim, Reed said. So I was just thinking to myself, Lets try to birdie three of the last four and get ourselves a chance to secure second alone, and give ourselves a chance — just maybe.The 24-year-old Reed did better than that. He two-putted the par-5 15th for a birdie. In the final group behind him, Walker began losing his lead when a 4-iron off the tee at the reachable par-4 14th sailed right into a bunker and led to bogey. And then, Reed holed out with a wedge from 80 yards for eagle on the 16th.Just like that, he was tied with Walker at 21-under.I walked to 17 tee and I heard that Jimmy was at 21 (under) as well, Reed said. I was like, Oh, wow.He still had work left. Reed three-putted from 100 feet just off the 17th green, missing a 4-foot par putt to fall one shot behind. Again, he figured a birdie was mandatory to at least have a chance. He took care of that with a two-putt from 80 feet to close at 6-under 67.Walker, tied for the lead with Hideki Matsuyama at the start of the final round, would take only one shot back — the 4-iron into the bunker on the 14th. From there, he caught it too cleanly and sailed the green, and when he missed a short par putt, he ended his streak of 32 straight holes without a bogey.Equally critical to Walker was making birdies, and those were elusive. He had built a three-shot lead over Matsuyama by running off three straight around the turn, and he was still three clear over the 22-year-old from Japan going to the 14th. Walker twice missed birdie putts inside 10 feet. And when he needed a birdie on the 18th to win in regulation, his chip came out soft and he missed an 18-foot attempt for a 69 to join Reed at 21-under 271.Walker had the advantage in the playoff on the downhill, scenic par-5 18th, but not for long. Reed couldnt get near the green after driving into the rough, while Walker left his 3-wood well out to the right, not far from his chip in regulation. This one came out hot and over the green. He chipped back to 6 feet for a par putt, only he picked up his coin when Reed drained an 18-footer for birdie and the win.It was there for me to win, Walker said. It was a bummer I didnt close the door on it.Reed has been doing that with regularity since he joined the PGA Tour in 2013. He won in Greensboro in a playoff over Jordan Spieth. He went wire-to-wire at the Humana Challenge last year, and beat back a strong field at Doral. This was his fourth career victory, putting him in elite company.Only four other players in the last quarter-century have won four PGA Tour titles before turning 25 — Rory McIlroy, Sergio Garcia, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson.Reed is still not top five in the world — a comment he made after his win at Doral and one that follows him now. He moved to a career-best No. 14, which marks progress and potential.Everyone is trying to get to the best in the world, Reed said. But thats going to take a long time. Its nothing that happens overnight.Reed doesnt know what he has that allows him to win at a prolific rate this young in his career. In a conversation earlier in the week, he said only that it helps to have that extra willpower at the end.And the only way to build that stuff is repetition, and getting yourself in that position, he said. Because youre not going to experience it until you get in that situation. And the more you can get in contention, then youll know what you did. Paul Byron Canadiens Jersey . Returning to Davis Cup tennis, Federer cruised past Ilija Bozoljac, winning 6-4, 7-5, 6-2 in less than two hours. Federer faced little challenge from Bozoljac, who served well but still was no match for his Swiss opponent. Charlie Lindgren Canadiens Jersey . "Yeah, [I heard them]," he said. "They made me miss the free throw." A year ago, Lowrys post-game antics may not have been so well received but what was snide and snarky is now endearing quick wit. http://www.canadienssale.com/authentic-guy-lapointe-canadiens-jersey/ . Last years runner-up, Sara Errani, also reached the last eight in straight sets. Flipkens converted all four of her break points against Meusburger, and the third-seeded Errani broke Karin Knapps serve five times to win their all-Italian match 6-4, 6-3.The Toronto Raptors will be without the services of Amir Johnson on Monday night when they entertain the New Orleans Pelicans at the Air Canada Centre. Johnson has been dealing with ankle pain after turning on it in a January 29 win over the Orlando Magic. An MRI on Johnsons ankle came back cleaan according to coach Dwane Casey, but he will be given the night off as the pain persists. Henri Richard Canadiens Jersey. Patrick Patterson will replace Johnson in the starting line-up. In 50 games this season, the 26-year-old Johnson is averaging 10.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game. ' ' '
